Agricultural Problems in Georgia and Strategic Policy Responses
Georgia is one of the poorest countries in the former Soviet bloc. Over half of its 4.7 million people live below the poverty line, second only to Romania among central and eastern European countries. The purpose of this paper is to describe the grassroots reality of the country’s agricultural sector and to suggest a modest policy agenda to promote economic growth. A crucial element of the policy agenda is the establishment of localized extension services that would expose tradition-bound peasant communities to new production methods and market opportunities.
